So I was wondering, if you make a statistic like "how many people get robbed in X area" and all relatively wealthy well educated areas have similar statistics, do they have some way of accounting for increased leniency? like, let's say "A" area has way less risk of crime(and/or more resources to recover from crime) than B area, but they have similar statistics because "A" area just leaves shit lying around, walk the alleys at night and never lock their doors. Does statistic research have any way of accounting for this and getting meaningful data? Because often you see a sort of flat roof in statistics like that, with most well-off communities having similar data, but maybe it's just an equilibrium that humans create by nature when they have an abundance of resources?
